Halloween (1978)

Director: John Carpenter

The original indie blockbuster that launched a thousand cuts…Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis (A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies) in her debut role. Anyone who’s ever watched a horror film in the last 35 years knows the story of Michael Myers, who as a child, butchered his sister with a kitchen knife. Committed to a mental institution and watched over by Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance, Halloween II, IV & V, Fantastic Voyage), he engineers his escape 15 years later, returning to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night to terrorize anyone who gets in his way, including babysitter Laurie Strode (Curtis). Co-starring P.J. Soles (Carrie, Stripes, Rock ‘n Roll High School), Kyle Richards (The Watcher in the Woods, Eaten Alive), Nancy Loomis (Carpenter’s Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog), Charles Cyphers (Escape From New York, The Fog) and Brian Andrews (The Great Santini, Three O’Clock High), Halloween also cemented the careers of many behind the camera including Carpenter, Cundey, producer Debra Hill and film editor/production designer Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, “It”).

Halloween II (1981)

Director: Rick Rosenthal

Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they once again encounter the knife-wielding maniac they thought they had left for dead.

As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath’s actions. Written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween II is a spine-tingling dark ride into the scariest night of the year.

WalkingDeadGuy

It’s so pretty! So glad I preordered it…this feeling of excitement could never be matched by digital download

Samael

I couldn’t agree with you more. Owning a product and holding it in your hands is priceless. Especially when it looks this good!

Krug09

Looks to be an awesome set but i will wait for some screen shots and reviews. I own all of them except the PC and RZ Halloween 1 and 2.

KrisXX

Why wait? They can’t be any worse than H5 & H20, those are 2 of the worst transfers ever put on a blu-ray disc!!

Jon Phil

amazing set yet there are about only 4 movies from it that are worth having lol

When I get my hands on this, I’m locking myself in a room for one week with 4-5 boxes of pizza, 2-3 cases of soda, and a clear path to the bathroom. No calls, and I’ll only stop for emergencies. lol.

Baby PoundCake

Hell fucking yes!!!

Jinny Thornton

As cool as this looks, it seems like the discs are just carried over from previous releases with different disc art. Already own a majority of these and the only really new addition is the producer’s cut of Halloween 6 and a bonus disc which I doubt will have much on it. Gonna skip out on this.

Stefan Richard

I made a vow years ago to NOT buy any of the movies in this series (except for the original Halloween of course) until they came out with a worthy, complete box set.
